Understaffed airlines are less able to recover from delays

The return of mass air travel has encountered some turbulence, to say the least. Lengthy delays and lost luggage are ubiquitous, even as air travellers often pay a premium for flights. At least 240 WestJet flights were recently cancelled as a result of a system outage caused by a computer problem at a data centre, and when delays like this occur, airlines are less able to cope with them than they were in pre-COVID times. They are understaffed, and overwhelmed.

鈥淚t stresses the system,鈥 says Prof. Karl Moore, 鈥渁nd there is a lack of resources to handle these delays.鈥
